Adam's POV

I got what I wanted: I triggered Spike to come out so Sabrina wouldn't like Chase anymore. Because she's mine! I gave her my selfie-face! No girl can resist that! She's way to pretty for Chase!

And he kept rubbing it in my face! All the time: 'she likes me! Not you, me! Me, me, me!' I just wanted to throw him across the room! But I'm a gentleman, I don't do that in front of ladies.
But Spike is everything Chase isn't. And since she liked Chase… So after that, I would have another chance!

And for once, my plan worked! I just kept pushing him, and pushing and pushing… then a little fight and then: bingo! Sabrina gone and Chase single once again!
But… even when I got everything I wanted it didn't feel good.

Sabrina looked at Chase with disgust: "You are SO not who I thought you were. I'm out of here."
Spike looked at her with a smirk: "She'll come back. They always come back!"
Sabrina slammed the door and I couldn't help it that a little grin formed on my face.
"She's not coming back", Spike admitted.
A second later, Chase was back and looked around the room. I tried to make him forget what happened, but it didn't work. (Believe me, you can't win a discussion from the smartest person on earth!) Then, it seemed to click.
"Wait!", Chase yelled "You activated my commando-app on purpose, didn't you!" It wasn't even a question!
"Of course I did, look who you're talking to!", I answered.
"Sabrina was the first girl to show any interest in me! And you ruined it! Thanks a lot!" After that, he walked away towards the lab leaving me alone in the trashed living room.

I wanted to smile and laugh, I really did. My plan had just worked and I wanted to be happy.
I tried to think of a way to start a talk with Sabrina tomorrow and how to ask her out...

But all I could think of was the look in Chase's eyes when he walked away.
His eyes weren't filled with the anger I had expected.
No, they were filled with pain.
He looked so sad, and angry and… betrayed!

And to think that I had done that to my little brother! Me!
I'm the big brother, the protector.
I should help my younger siblings, not ruin their social lives (even if there barely is one to ruin)!
And definitely not their first chance on a relationship.

I sigh and sit down on the couch.

How am I ever going to fix this?

Chase's POV

I'm sitting in the lab, just staring at the wall. I kept thinking about what Adam had done.
He knows what happens when you let Spike out!
And he only did it because for once, a girl liked me instead of him! Talking about selfish…

I'm not a very emotional person, but now I feel a lump forming in my throat. I put my hands on the table and sigh.
I feel angry, sad, betrayed,… but most of all disappointed. How could he do this to me?!
I love my family, but I just can't look at Adam now. Not after this.

I sigh again and walk around the lab, thinking about my options.
I could go upstairs and get angry at Adam and start a fight, but that would get me into trouble with mr. Davenport.
I could keep moping and stay in the lab, but that's just not me.
I could try and make it up with Sabrina.

Yes! That's it!
My brain keeps yelling at me that it's a stupid idea and that I'll be ashamed and even more hurt afterword's…
But for once, my heart is yelling louder: You like her, go for it!

Then, I hear the elevator doors opening. I don't even turn around, I already know it's Adam.
"Chase, look-",
But I don't let him finish. "No. Just… don't".
After that, I turn around and get into my capsule.
Adam looks at me before sighing and turning around. I thought I still saw regret and guilt in his eyes. Normally, I would feel guilty for making him feel that way.
But not now. Not today.

One single tear falls to the ground while I try to think how to make it up to Sabrina.
Adam may have ruined it, but that doesn't mean that I can't at least try to fix it.
